This study is a qualitative research
entitled #Selfie: The Concept of Vanity According to Filipino Teenagers which
aims to elaborate the reason/s for the Filipino teenager’s Vanity, which mainly
manifests in photographs and/or Selfies.
Respondents
for this study are teenagers whose age is from 14-18, and adults from age 22-41
who all reside in Quezon City. The respondents were then interviewed in three
ways: first personal interview was conducted by the researchers so that they
may be able to review their conversation; second, through online chat and
through text. Then their answers were used and analyzed to conclude about the
reason/s for the Filipino teenager’s vanity.
Results have showed that teenagers’ vanity is
mostly affected by how family members take effect on their actions such as
their influence to developing ones’ vanity. It also showed that adults/ elders
do not percept negatively towards the manifestation of vanity for teenagers
because they see it as their way of building “self-confidence” at an early age.
After
the study, the researchers were able to find out that taking Selfie is a way
for teenagers to express how they feel, for they believe that it is easier to
show than to put it down in words. Data also shows that when a teenager has an
easier connection to any gadget and/or Social Networking Site/s, he or she
tends to be vain for he has an easy access to things, which may be used to
capture photos.
